Beetroot squash: A great drink for a dose of rejuvenation

Beetroot squash is a refreshing drink that can be enjoyed whenever you need a dose or rejuvenation. While the drink is rich in beetroot's folate aka vitamin B9, manganese, iron, vitamin C, fibre and more, the betanin pigment in it, which gives the vegetable its colour, also reduces cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, kidney and liver issues and even protects you against certain cancers, according to experts. Here's how to prepare this healthy squash.
